Complete the metaphor

[[deleted user]]

Here, I will post the beginning to a metaphor like "Writing is..." and everyone can comment with the ending to that metaphor with whatever they like. It can be funny or serious. I will post a new beginning after getting a few replies. Don't use these metaphors in your writing without asking the creator. Once the group gets more members, this might become a daily game.
First one: "Writing is..."

Writing is puking your brain onto a piece of paper and hoping it looks nice.

Writing is escaping the alternative world into the reality of one's mind.
